The BRUTAL ASSAULT
Upon Jennie BOwm an Will Result
I'm Her Death.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 22.-The bru-
tai midday crime Of yesterday has
greatly shocked this community, and
little else is talked of. The fact that a
peaceful domestic in charge OF house
10 the beat resident portion OF the city
turing the temporary absence Of the
family could be assaulted and fatally
and horribly mangled in the broad
glare OF noon by burglar has created
a most profound sensation. Contrary
to the expectations Of the physicians,
the wounded girl, Jennie Bowman, re-
covered consciousness, but they pro-
nounce her injuries necessarily fatal,
and say she can live but few hours
longer. In lucid interval she stated
that her assailant was negro and that
abe had fought him with glass.
Upon the wall Of the stairway up
which the black fiend forced the girl
to retreat are the marks Of her bleed
ing bands, and upon the steps drops
of blood, everything pointing to ter
rife struggle. The police are using
every endeavor possible to appreheud
the murderer. They are upon the
track of colored man named Marion
Jones, who is believed to be the perpe'
TRAITOR, and who, it is thought, left the
ci y last night for Cincinnati.

Aldermen Of New York owe their i'm
prisoumsnt and exile. closely encom'
passed by the meshes OF the law, and
seeing no avenue of escspe from well

toll the story OF his great crime. He
threatens to "make it hot" for all who
in the least degree assisted him in
engineering the Broadway franchise
through the New York Legislature
and afterwArd in occurring the right OF
way through Broadway from the Board
of Aldermen. He proposes to make a
clean breast of it and make sensation
that shall equal all that has gone be-
fore put together. Politicians OF both

regulations now clea to be ruined be-
yond redemption. Perhaps a hundred

COL. mIoHAEL mAGEvNEx.

The death OF COL. Michael Magev.
ney, elsewhere announced will, be a
surprise to the readers OF the APPEAL,
to whom he was we'll known as one
OF the most notable among the men OF
Memphis who had seldom entered
public life. He was an Irishman
Of whom his country people can
we'll feel proud. His pride
OF character was equal to his pride OF
race and his love Of the land OF his
birth. He made no ostentatious
parade Of either, but endeavored by
his daily life, his dealings with men,
his upright walk, his fearless and
earnest denunciation OF everything in
the least degree calculated to faint
the Irish name, TO make the world
respect II as he loved and revered IT,
No ruer man ever lived, no stronger
or more loyal friend. To the
humblest as to the riches
of those who had claims upon him h'
was always the same. He was strorl
and vigorous in mind as in body, and
spoke earnestly when he had occasion
upon questions of public policy. HI
was unsparlng in his denunciaicn o
the political iobbers and trickster
who have disgraced the Irish name
and his voice aud vote were Away
for economy and good government
Whatever his shortcomings, he wa
uniformly the same, and no man VIII
knew him could fail to place him, sn
with certainty, ON any given subject
He will be- missed from the street
where he has long been conspicuou
figure, and will be mourned by hi
relatives and friends az one who's
face never assumed disguise an
whose hand was strong for what h
believed was Just.

Rx.MINIsTER LOWELL.

The Bcathiug paper on ex-Minister
Lowell in the North american Repitv
for May, signed by Arthur Richmond,
has created q great deal of excitement,
especially 10 the ranks OF the Boston
sristocrscy, and this will no doubt be
intensified when they learn today
that Ben Butler is tn" Richmond" now
in the field. William Henry Hurlbut,
a former editor OF the New York
World, is said to have been the first

disgrace OF the Arthur administration.
A man cannot serve two masters.

WAR.

The arrest of the French Commits
sary schnsebels by the German police
is likely to occasion serious trouble,
but 1t will not. We hope, lead to war.
When France or Germany again en-
gage in deadly strife it must be based
upon some weightier pretex. than this.
Both raions are ready and sometimes
they seem to be eager. But when the
momentary spssm OF passion passes
away and tober judgment and reason
a art their sway this eagerness gives
way to a careful counting Of the cost
in men and money. Then there is a
wholesome dread OF the after result
the fine to be levied by the victor to
pay the expenses. Let us hope that
so dire an extreme is still far of and
that something may yet turn up 10
mske for perpetual peace.

MATTER.
PARIS, April 22.-The arrest OF the
French Commissary Schnaebsls, OF
Pagny-sur- Mcselle, by the German
police after he had been decoyed over
the frontier is regarded as serious
matter In official circles. M. Goblet,

pose OF determining what action to
take in the premises, and they again
met this morning to further consider
the subject.
The Pair says that the government
has demanded an explanation OF the

The French newspapers generally
regard the occurrence as direct
provocation on Germany's part, and
exhort the people to be calm and not
to play Prince Bismarck's game.

recent issue OF tnat paper, Calls
attention to the fact that most Of
the Aldermen OF the Northern
cities who are involved in tne
"boodls" business are men Of Irish
birth or psrentage, and he deplores
the fact as a discredit to the race.
This, we submit, is not the right view
to take. Ireland, according to British
statistics. does not breed rascals and
criminals az fast as England, Scotland
or Wales. Her people are mostly
agricultuhsts, and she has few large
centers wherein to breed or perpetu-
ate crime, muck OF which that
stands charged to her account being
agrarisu in Its nature, arising out Of
the serce political agltations made
necessary by the constant legislation
OF England TO keep her In condition
Of utter subsection. As nation, in
point OF morals Ireland stands nrst
among thoss OF Europe. This ad-
mitted, her children. wherever they
are dispersed upon the face Of
the earth, have no special reason for
shame. The Aldermen Of New York
or Chicago, who are under charges for
bribery and corruption, could not oc-
cupy that position without accom-
plices, and these are all native and
to the MAJOR born" Americans,
while deploring the existence OF such
creatures, do not deem themselves
under special mark OF Gain or that
theirs is a nation Of Pariahs. In a
free country like this every mau must
make his own bed, and he alone must
be responsible for his condition and
position. His education aud training
may have much to do with it, but his
nationality nothing There are ras'
Gals and criminals everywhere, be-
cause human nature is the same every

"boodle" Aldermen it was not strong
enough. Many, II not all OF them, are
illiterate men. They have had per

able to "read, write and cipher" but
they have not had enough to enable
